Hey guys. I'm trying to get the best bang-for-my-buck $800 system. Am I on the right track? (Thanks in advance!!)
ASUS M2N4-SLI Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - $97
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans 2000MHz HT Socket AM2 Processor Model ADA3500CNBOX - $91
XFX PV-T73G-UDD3 Geforce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - $160
CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) - $126
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - $68
SAMSUNG 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With 5X DVD-RAM Write - $32
NZXT Apollo ORANGE Orange ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply - $90
Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2 - $90
I have an LCD, mouse, keyboard...
Basically, I want to make sure I haven't picked anything stupid and that I've divided my money up correctly between components. I'd like to eventually upgrade to an Athlon X2 dual core & a second GeForce7 (SLI).
Any suggestions would be sweet!
